Random scribblings -- poems, song lyrics, novel excerpts, maybe a short story a time or two, possibly even a drawing once in a while, an occasional rant -- from the last 25 years or so, with no claim made for their merit or value, simply a demonstration of their existence.

I raised them with the tears of my eyesLook how these devils came and took themThey were just gone, overnight

These are tales told, verbatim, in TorturetownTorturetown, TorturetownThese are tales told in Torturetown

Many people were tortured more than meI just wanted to save my soulI wonder why they did it

Why does one human beingWant to break the soul of another?My son accepts his destiny as something already written

These are tales told, verbatim, in TorturetownTorturetown, TorturetownThese are tales told in Torturetown
